    Pacquiao said after beating Hatton that he would join Politics on the september elections, it's all bull****.

    It's not like fighters these days fight every month and after doing so they retire.

    in pac's last 3 fights he hasn't gotten hurt, so why retire?.

      I agree mang, pac has accomplished what millions of boxers in the whole wide world can only dream of. But the problem is he's still young to retire from boxing, you know super athletes retiring from the game only to find out later that there's this itch pushing them back to the sports they love.

      Regarding his political plans, manny may not know this but I am convinced that he's already politically dead and may not win the next election. Hangers on pretending to be advisers are goading to run in another congressional district because it's a sure win may turn out to be another KO of pacman in the Philippine political arena. But that's just me, although we'll surely know if my theory is right after the May, 2010 election.

        @spacey- hey bro, that one was not for you, it was a general statement. Anyways let's all hope that pac realize as early as now that he's being an idiot for going politics.

          politics will ruin his image.

          he should just get into charities and maybe get involved in philippines sports.

          buy a pba team , get involved in an amateur boxing program , etc.

          things that'll keep him busy.

                  I hope he sticks around too homey. Dude is a fighter not a politician. I think he'd lose the election anyway, just like last time. Even if they wanted him in office, I don't think Filipinos would want it now while he can still fight. Probably why he lost last time. They ain't ready to let go of Pac the fighter yet.

                  This makes sense. It'd be odd to see him holdin political office.

                    Pacquiao has zero experience in politics. He's only given a chance because of his superstar status. A man with a third grade education should not be considered as a candidate for presidency of a nation that is nearly 100 million in population.

                    Philippine politics will inevitably tarnish his reputation. Corruption scandals abound in political arenas in the Philippines, and if Pacquiao presses forth with his political aspirations, he will likely become involved in some sort of scandal that will ruin his clean image.
